Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Absolutely stunning piece of equipment you got there Monigan. When do you expect to finish the superstructure with side panels and such? She will be even more pretty when she's got some paint on her. I will definitely have to see this machine in person someday. Keep up the great work.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
You guys are giving me a headache.
I mean that in the nicest way. I've loved big equipment all my life, and have modeled in 1/25 scale for most of it. I get plenty of respect for my work on the model forums, but I get here, what, a couple days ago now. I feel like such a runt! Looking at this stuff just blows me away. This machine and others I've seen here makes me realize that I will have to considder this a whole different league than what I'm in, but I can certainly appreciate it none the less. Dan |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Here's a flashback to a time consuming job building my swing gearboxs. I still need to machine the second housing though but the machine performs perfect with only one. I have drawings of the real gearing and I made the gears exactly only 1/16th scale.

Are you a machinist by trade? everything looks SO professional.

This is an outstanding build. Was watching it on Garden until it vanished. Hope to see it in person someday!!

Southgate , Yes I have a small machine shop and fab shop.
tc1cat, You will need to make your machine operational so you can bring it to York, PA this January along with D9 Joe to do some pushing at the CabinFever Expo. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
I've been following this build and have always appreciated the workmanship and machining. But I completely lost it when you said the gears were made to 1/16 scale! The gearcase and inner workings are just a marvel of precision manufacturing. Thanks for all the pictures and explanations - they keep me inspired to keep working on my dozer.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Thanks everybody.
I just got back from the Antique Caterpillar-ACMOC national show in Portland Indiana. I have some interesting pictures of a crane that you sit on to operate a clam bucket. There was supposed to be another P&H shovel one of my friends told me about but the flea market is so big I didn't go looking for it. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. |
Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Hey Steve,
will the boom be part of the final boom or is it just a temp one? |
